[Intro]
C5 F5 E5 C#5 x4

[Verse 1]
D5             E5   F5              E5       C5
Once I had a friend that I could count on
            G5               C5     D5
So I thought, well, so it seemed
D5            E5 F5                E5 C5
But times of need are not enough
                       G5           C5       D5
To prove your friendship to me now
D5              E5 F5             E5 C5
Once I saw a face that I believed in
            G5               C5      D5
But a mask was all there was
D5                      E5 F5                      E5           C5
So who wears the masks and who wears the faces?
             G5             C5     A5
Well, I guess I'll never know

[Pre-Chorus 1]
A5
But as I stand here alone in a room full of people
A5
With nothing to say
A5
Beer on their minds and smoke in the air
A5                                                A#5
Call them friends, but they just don't care

[Chorus 1]
F5            C5
Friend for life
D5                                 A5         A#5
Such shallow words for broken minds
F5                C5           D5
Show me a friend for life
F5                      C5                   D5
Because I'll be waiting for that day to arrive
A5     A#5
When I'll feel alive
F5       C5                  D5
I'll be waiting for that day

[Verse 2]
D5                E5 F5           E5 C5
Once I found a love I had to know
                        G5                              C5 D5
Now we might know each other just too well
D5                              E5    F5                E5          C5
Because when we're together we just can't get enough
      G5                                    C5 D5
Or is it we just can't get what we want?
D5               E5 F5              E5 C5
Once I saw a dream, I had to chase it
                G5                 C5 D5
Dreams quickly turn to reality
  D5                        E5 F5                   E5 C5
Who's at fault in this game of yours and mine?
            G5           C5       A5
Well, I guess I'll never know

[Pre-Chorus 2]
A5                      G5 A5
But as I sit here alone
A5                                                     G5 A5
Think of the girl who came softly inside me
A5                                                     G5 A5
The look in her eyes, the smell of her hair
A5                                                   A#5
Call her my own, but is she really there?

[Chorus 2]
F5          C5
Love for life
D5                                  A5      A#5
Such noble words for noble minds
F5                C5         D5
Show me a love for life
F5             C5                             D5
Because I'll be waiting for that day to arrive
           A5  A#5
When I'll feel alive
F5        C5                  D5 C5 A5 G5 E5 F5
I'll be waiting for that day

[Breakdown]
A5 A5 A5 A#5 A5 A#5 A5 A#5

[Chorus 1]
F5            C5
Friend for life
D5                                 A5         A#5
Such shallow words for broken minds
F5                C5         D5
Show me a friend for life
F5              C5                           D5
Because I'll be waiting for that day to arrive
           A5 A#5
When I'll feel alive
F5            C5               D5
I'll be waiting for that day

[Outro]
D5              E5   F5               E5 C5
Once I had a friend that I could count
               G5            C5       D5
Times of need are not enough
D5                 E5 F5            E5 C5
Once I found a love I had to know
                        G5                             C5 D5
Now we might know each other just too well
D5               E5 F5              E5 C5
Once I saw a dream I had to chase
               G5                   C5 D5
Dreams quickly turn to reality
D5           E5 F5
Now let me close my eyes
E5 C5                  G5               C5           D5
Because I don't want to see anything anymore
